New Zealand vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Saxton Oval | Jan 9, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[kingusama92]

Horrible shot.

If you're going to do that might as well have left the field during that review.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Sarfraz needs to be dropped. Frankly at this point idc how good your captaincy is this is disgraceful.

 

[Railu Katta]

SARFI IS A TAILENDER! This guy should be sacked for sheer stupidity.

 

[Syed1]

Dafa ho... this guy is still in CT celebration mode get lost

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sarfraz needs to take a look at himself.

 

[jog_1]

Sarfraz’s batting is trash. His purple patch is over. Dude can’t play spin or fast bowling, bats like a tailender.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Absolute bonkers from Sarfraz..

Shadab walks in to bat.

 

[imshally81]

Good fielding..

 

[IMMY69]

One of the best 50s I've seen. Really well played professor

Agreed.

People have short memories.
His runs against England and then India in CT were equally classy.

 

[castortroy]

Remember when he wasn't captain. He was such a energetic batsman. Considering how poor he is as a keeper, he really needs to start scoring runs or his place in the team should come under question

 

[Third Man]

What a terrible shot. Captain looks schoolboyish out there.

 

[Pete Rose]

captain feeling pressure,.

 

[Sirris]

Can the real batting begin now?

 

[Noman]

Sarfraz batting has seriously regressed

He is so fat. What the hell is team management doing there? SarfraZ Why in the World are u eating so Many pie

 

[QalandarFan]

Honestly the only thing sarfraz is in the team these days is for his captaincy. Keeping dismayal, as for batting he is struggling against the spinners these days too.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Sarfraz has just looked like a different player. How did he pass the fitness tests.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Biggest Dead Weight in the Team !!!!

 

[Pete Rose]

pakistan's true batting starts now. really important for hafeez to keep scoreboard ticking so that the newbies settle

 

[castortroy]

We need another batsman in the team. Can't have sarfraz coming up as high as he is

 

[CricFan2012]

How the hell is a professional sports person so unfit like Saffaraz? No wonder no one outside Asia takes this sport seriously when they see players like these, shameful.

 

[Zeshan547]

that's what happens when you take things for granted, specialist captain can't even survive against spin now, sooner we get rid of such lazy bum better it will be.

 

[waleed88]

Sarfraz looks like captaincy and keeping is affecting his form...

 

[QalandarFan]

Shahdab “Bradman” Khan averaging 96 at only 19

 

[7sins]

So sarfraz become this much desperate after only facing 6 balls is he playing t10 league

 

[Syed1]

We will crawl our way to 220

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Dafa ho... this guy is still in CT celebration mode get lost

Lol.... what am I reading here!!

 

[srh]

Sarfraz was out of breath; he is unfit and should be dropped

 

[CricFan2012]

Need Hafeez to play a Bhuvan type innings from Lagaan and Shadab to play Ismails, get us to 270 boys!

 

[kingusama92]

It's crazy but Shadab looks a far better batsman than Sarfraz. More organized.

 

[imshally81]

Ferguson replaced Boult...

 

[MMHS]

Sarfraz looks like captaincy and keeping is affecting his form...

Or may be that loss of weight affecting his balance ......

 

[Pete Rose]

shadab's facging first two balls > azhar, hafeez, babar, sarfaraz,.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Its amazing what happens when you stop focusing on your fitness. He needs to lose some pounds.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez has always done generally well in NZ which is quite interesting.

 

[Theo_14]

We will crawl our way to 220

What happened to your boy Sarfraz?

Made the call weeks ago - Saffy is out of form, a toxic to players when shouting, tactically lost.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The game looks gone now, time to play for pride

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Absolutely disgraceful innings from Sarfraz. Completely pathetic. Plays and misses, could've been run-out on a regulation double, close call on an lbw and finally ended the misery by walking past a half tracker.

Unfit, poor attitude and poor form. If he keeps this up he could be out of the team soon.

 

[castortroy]

His keeping is poor and his batting has been going downhill for a while now.

Don't we have any other keeper batsman?

 

[Pete Rose]

It's crazy but Shadab looks a far better batsman than Sarfraz. More organized.

no just sarfaraz

 

[imshally81]

Easy Shadab easy

 

[troodon]

Mamoon: "i guess sarfaraz finally succeeds :/"


Above is from cricinfo.

 

[Rana]

Sarfaraz has lost that early spark in which he was being supported all ends up. Seems like a liability these days

 

[dauntless]

Fatty captain should be the first to kicked out of the team

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sheer incompetency by Sarfraz.Needs to shed weight and get his head together.

 

[CricFan2012]

Afridi was kept in the team for so long because of that one performance, Sarfaraz could be in this team just because of CT for a couple years despite a 30 average

 

[QalandarFan]

What happened to your boy Sarfraz?

Made the call weeks ago - Saffy is out of form, a toxic to players when shouting, tactically lost.

The thing that puzzles me is how he shouts at the players with such confidence as if he himself is perfect.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

I said back in August ... within a year all the fans will be calling for Sarfraz head.... luck will run out. And it has now.

 

[QalandarFan]

Afridi was kept in the team for so long because of that one performance, Sarfaraz could be in this team just because of CT for a couple years despite a 30 average

Atleast Afridi was a match winner and entertaining every once in a while Sarfraz has done nothing since 2017.

 

[srh]

Or may be that loss of weight affecting his balance ......

gain of weight meray bhai

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Afridi was kept in the team for so long because of that one performance, Sarfaraz could be in this team just because of CT for a couple years despite a 30 average

I've said it in the past, this guy is simply coasting on the performances of other players.

Well and truly a specialist captain.

 

[Theo_14]

The thing that puzzles me is how he shouts at the players with such confidence as if he himself is perfect.

That's what you call a rotten apple in the changing room when it comes to football.

 

[Syed1]

NZ will chase it down with ease

 

[Rana]

Shadab Khan is an absolute joker with his shots against express pace

 

[CricFan2012]

Shadab looks like a better batsman than Azhar and Sarfaraz

 

[Pete Rose]

Atleast Afridi was a match winner and entertaining every once in a while Sarfraz has done nothing since 2017.

while we should dump on sarfaraz, but calling afridi a match winner is an insult to any half serious cricketer out there,

 

[waleed88]

gain of weight meray bhai

You didn't get it, he was quoting me. I watched the first game, his facial fat looked lesser than before. I don't know about his belly he was wearing a sweater as a keepr

 

[Arham_PakFan]

WASP predicts a total of 219

 

[aloo paratha]

Hafeez with a really good innings. I've got no problem with him in the team as long as he's not playing selfishly, like he was previously.

Maybe he could open instead of azhar?

 

[MRSN]

I said back in August ... within a year all the fans will be calling for Sarfraz head.... luck will run out. And it has now.

this luck has to do with purple patch of our fast bowlers so in reality he was never tested. He was always mediocre.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Some of the Pakistani players ought to be ashamed of themselves today.

Babar, Malik and Sarfraz all looked out of sync and made some really poor decisions for senior players.

 

[CricFan2012]

Shadab Khan is an absolute joker with his shots against express pace

He's primarily a leg spinner, and does a really good job at that so his batting is a bonus, he has a nice stance and shots, just needs to practice more

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez with a really good innings. I've got no problem with him in the team as long as he's not playing selfishly, like he was previously.

Maybe he could open instead of azhar?

reminder...this is a selfish innings tills pakistan scores about 270 odd

 

[imshally81]

6 balls.... 6 singles
wow just wow

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Six singles off the over.

 

[UP]

Need a 120 runs partnership between these two.

 

[MMHS]

Sheer incompetency by Sarfraz.Needs to shed weight and get his head together.

How?

Hileay retired at 35, Doujon at 35, Knott at 34 ....... and these are ages based on their birth certificate, issued from the hospital/nursing home at the time of biological birth.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Shadab is batting much better than Sarfi

 

[Pete Rose]

this luck has to do with purple patch of our fast bowlers so in reality he was never tested. He was always mediocre.

he did get us over the line vs SL in CT. so we shouldnt get total amnesia

 

[Syed1]

I wouldnt mind Fakhar being given the captaincy... atleast he gets into the side on merit, but knowing our management it'll probably go to Malik or Hafeez or worse Azhar Ali

 

[dauntless]

Lockie's moustaches though! Funny and annoying

 

[CricFan2012]

Astle is a typical tape ball bowler, even I can bash him to all parts, Hafy bhai is in too much respect giving mode

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Ironically, the guy everyone was criticising before the match has looked like he is batting on a different pitch.

 

[7sins]

Shadab is easily a number 4 batsmen

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another good single.Shadab is good enough to bat at 4

 

[Eagle_Eye]

this luck has to do with purple patch of our fast bowlers so in reality he was never tested. He was always mediocre.

It was obvious .... Hassan turned world class and fakhar changed the fortunes with the bat and Sarfraz started milking the gravy train.

 

[Pete Rose]

I wouldnt mind Fakhar being given the captaincy... atleast he gets into the side on merit, but knowing our management it'll probably go to Malik or Hafeez or worse Azhar Ali

you cant build a new team (especially in Pakistan) without cutting links from the past. if they drop these three: for experience inzi will being shehzad, akmal brothers back

 

[MRSN]

he did get us over the line vs SL in CT. so we shouldnt get total amnesia

yes courtesy of lots of chances or 'luck'. It was Amir's knock which was more solid.

 

[Syed1]

Shadab is looking better than Babar, Azhar, Imam, Malik and Sarfaraz

 

[CricFan2012]

Ironically, the guy everyone was criticising before the match has looked like he is batting on a different pitch.

I would still discard Hafy bhai for Harris.

Hafy bhai scores once in every twenty games like this, I called this at the beginning of the match, he will keep scoring cheeky runs if we keep him, Harris is a more consistent cricketer

 

[Shafi]

Basically we have learned nothing from last tour. In fact it looks worse
